Global Masters Challenge
Each year, postgraduate students have the opportunity to participate in the Global Masters Challenge, run by UBC Worldwide. The simulation-based challenge allows students to gain hands-on problem solving skills, boosting their employability and enterprise skills for career success.
What is the Global Masters Challenge?
The Global Masters Challenge gives you the chance to develop skills that you will need in the world of work, as well as the opportunity to put the knowledge that you have learned as part of your course into practice. As part of a team, you will make decisions for a virtual business, building market share and customer satisfaction levels.
